Wine Information
The start of the spring was slow and characterized by low temperatures. Both April and May featured plenty of rainfall, with conditions prime for risks of fungi infections. In June and July, the weather turned favorably dry and sunny, producing very good and even flowering, followed by a generous fruit set. Despite the good weather in August and September, there was delay from the springtime that lasted to the harvest. All in all, the hot and dry days accompanied by the very cool nights created the perfect conditions for a very good phenolic ripening, especially on the Nebbiolo grape.
